Richie Sambora is allegedly bailing on Bon Jovi’s world tour over “personal reasons,” but it’s not drugs or health… he’s supposedly leaving after a blow out with Bon Jovi himself.

TMZ is reporting that Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has dropped off the band’s current tour after a heated argument he had with frontman Jon Bon Jovi. Sambora didn’t show up for the band’s performance in Calgary earlier this week, and Jon mentioned on stage that fans shouldn’t expect to see Richie for a while, making these rumors seem pretty legit.

TMZ also claims that Sambora’s people are trying to patch things up in time for Bon Jovi’s April 19th show in Los Angeles. In the meantime, Bon Jovi’s tour is rolling on without the legendary guitarist. But will their performance be the same without Sambora? What impact this will have on the band is a mystery right now, but Bon Jovi certainly sounded amazing back in March when they streamed their entire Because We Can show (which you can still watch On Demand– Click Here or the link below!)
